Yes, here's a site where you can watch all the TV commercials big American stars do in Japan, and among them is the VERY Bondian Timothy Dalton advert for LARK cigarettes. Truly one of Timmy's best Bond moments--too bad it was only a TV commercial. (Not sure the year this was made, but it looks post LTK.) There

Take a look in your internet temporary files, mine were saved in there and are now on my hard drive. Is the Pierce ad for real? It looks like a joke. And as for Sir Sean dancing on the balcony; simple ideas are often the best. And oddest.

I think that advert shows a confident Bond, especially after 2 Bond films, after LTK I could imagine a more calmer yet still on the edge Bond. I guess apart of being a Dalton Bond fan, and I'm a fan of the others as well, is you know when a Bond actor should quit and when there's potential for more films, so that advert sort of is Timothy for a few moments in a 3rd Bond film for me.:)

I immensely enjoyed this ad. As SeanValen said, its a glimpse into
a third TD film, almost like a scene out of the proposed "Property of a lady" script.

Tims' confidence and cool does show as 007 has returned to the secret service after the events in LTK.

Most amusing :) ! Mr Dalton is known to be a chain smoker himself, unfortunately...but it seems that he has had tongue in cheek while doing this spot...He is great!!!! =)

Yes, I felt exactly the same was when I saw this, SeanValen.
